Ronni et al interested people, I have pasted in below (the dotted
line) something from a user on the Apple Discussion thread. See the
line of text in BOLD below. I think I may have switched iCloud Drive
on either deliberately or inadvertently when I was setting up the
remote printing option for my wifes phone on the Brother iPrint app (a
non related activity). Whilst this solution to my problem is not
technically a solution but rather a 'work around' she doesn't
actually need iCloud Drive to be on for other uses I have
subsequently discovered Google Drive as a more user
friendly repository for cloud documents and hence remote printing to
my Brother printer.
The workaround is to go to Settings>iCloud>iCloud Drive and set to
OFF.
This has now solved the phone call history synching between us.
Regards Pete.
---------------------
For us, 9.0.2 does NOT fix the issue with shared calling histories
between different iPhones. We both have iPhone 6s's on iOS 9.0.2.
I tried shutting off WiFi phone calls, disabling Handoff on her phone
(I need it on my phone) as well as ensuring her phone and devices
aren't selected for "Allow Calls on other devices".
WHAT WORKED FOR ME WAS TO DISABLE ICLOUD DRIVE ON MY WIFE'S IPHONE 6S
-- as suggested above (thanks, ifat) thankfully she doesn't use any
iCloud drive features. I know this isn't optimal but it works for
our situation to preserve the features we need.
I realize people will say use different Apple ID's but the primary
reason we are sharing Apple IDs is to share the iCloud photo library:
that way pictures we both take end up in the same library. We both
then have access to our 325 GB library with over 15 years of photos, a
huge benefit of a cloud shared photo library. For us, Family Sharing
isn't really about sharing purchases.
If Apple would allow Family sharing to also share the iCloud Photo
Library that would solve this issue. Ideally, Apple would allow
authorized family members to access the shared photo library
(configurable per device as I don't want all my little kid's photos
from their devices). It would also require sharing the full storage
plan of the primary account holder (otherwise sharing a huge library
doesn't work), and this could be used to allow iCloud device backups
all to the same storage plan.
Until then, I hope Apple realizes many people share the Apple ID for
the photos and re-enable the sequestering of the call history to each
device. It would make sense for call history to be sync'd among
devices selected in the "Allow Calls on other devices" preference.

Go the Pies! Thanks Ronni will give that a try shortly. I am in sunny
Port Hedland 45C today!! Will endeavour to liaise with other half to
test this out.

I'm trying to watch The Pies playing Sydney :( So only read your
Subject...
The underlying cause is the sharing of a single iCloud and/or Apple
ID.
I don't know if this will help:
* Open the Settings app on both iPhones, then choose “FaceTime”
* Toggle the switch for “iPhone Cellular Calls” to the OFF
position on both phones
I've got to get back to concentrating on The Pies.. they are having
trouble!

Hi Ronni, see in my original posting I indicated I have already tried
that on both of our phones and it has not solved my issue. Others in
online reviews have also indicated that action as not being a solution
for this problem.
Regards
Pete.

About a week or ten days ago, I recognised that my recent phone call
listing was replicating to my wife's phone and hers to mine too. We
each know so it's not like the security or privacy is the concern.
However when she misses a call intended for her, it shows as a missed
call to me as well and so I end up calling back to someone I didn't
need to call back As I say this synching was occurring about a week
ago. I can't recall any particular updating activity that may have
caused it but it was AFTER recognising this I did the iOS update. That
update went fine but I still have this phone call recent listing
synching.
We each have the same AppleID and iCloud details and maybe it is one
or other of those causing this.
I did some online reviews and saw some people also having the same
but not one had a definitive solution for it. Some suggested turning
off the "Hand-Off" function and it did nothing for me as noted by
others too.
Is this something that anyone has a definitive fix for if they have
encountered the same thing going on?
Regards
Pete.
